    The 536EP chipset consists of the DQ82536EP Digital Signal Processor
    (DSP), and MD1724 Analog Front End (AFE) or silicon Data Access
    Arrangement (DAA). >>> Host-based controller software contains code
    for all controller functions for data (including error correction
    and data compression), fax and voice modes. <<< All digital signal
    processing functions are performed by the DSP including modulation,
    echo cancellation, call progress monitoring and voice processing.

    So-called Winmodems, host-based, HCF-, HSP-, HSF-, controllerless,
    host-controlled, and soft modems require vendor-supplied software to
    do the work of proper hardware modems. The sale of these devices for
    x86-based PCs is becoming increasingly popular among retailers and
    OEMs because of their lower cost.

    Since 1998, my opinion on these devices has been tempered by changes
    in:

        * how the chip-makers and modem-makers have acknowledged the
          growing base of Linux users,
        * the installed base of PCs that are capable of using a
          host-based modem without significant impact on the CPU, and
        * the emergence of PC motherboards with AC'97 capability. 

    This section used to say:

        However, Winmodems are only appropriate for use with Microsoft
        Windows on a fast Pentium.

    I'm not sure this blanket statement is still true. As evidenced by
    the big list, there are many GNU/Linux users using their "linmodems"
    with varying degrees of success. On the other hand, this does not
    help all the *BSD users, the x86 Solaris users, and others who would
    also benefit from non-proprietary software drivers.

    Open Source Linmodems

        * Pavel Machek and Richard have some code to try out with lucent
          winmodems. It will get the phone on- and off-hook, and can do
          full-duplex transmission and receiving.
        * Mikhail Moreyra has written a driver for the CL-MD5620DT
          (Ambient Tech) chipset. It does PPP.

 Lo mejor: vaya a la tienda, haga una lista de los modems que hay all�,
 vuelva a casa, vaya a la p�gina de Gromit (segundo link citado arriba),
 compare.  Una vez que tenga una lista de los modems (los de verdad) que
 se venden en Costa Rica, manda eso a esta lista y as� otra gente se
 beneficia del trabajo.  Si alguien tiene una Palm o similar, se puede
 ahorrar el trabajo de ir a la casa a comparar la lista.  Puede
 simplemente poner la lista en la Palm y sacar una tarde para visitar
 tiendas.
